18 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises determining the enhanced measurement period by multiplying the standard measurement period by a constant factor, adding a constant time to the standard measurement period, or a combination thereof.

3

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the standard measurement period is calculated as a function of a number of samples to be measured by the UE and wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises increasing the number of samples to be measured by the UE compared to the standard measurement period.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the standard measurement period is calculated as a function of a number of positioning reference signal resources that the UE can process per slot and wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises reducing the number of positioning reference signal resources that the UE can process per slot compared to the standard measurement period.

5

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the standard measurement period is calculated as a function of a number of PRS symbols N that the UE can process per unit time and wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises reducing a number of PRS symbols N that the UE can process per unit time, increasing the unit time required for the UE to process N PRS symbols, or both, compared to the standard measurement period.

9

9. The method of claim 8, wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises determining the enhanced measurement period by multiplying the standard measurement period by a constant factor, adding a constant time to the standard measurement period, or a combination thereof.

10

10. The method of claim 8, wherein receiving the enhanced positioning measurement report comprises receiving results of the measurement of a metric and a mean, a standard deviation, a probability, a probability distribution, or a combination thereof, associated with the metric.

11

11. The method of claim 8, wherein receiving the enhanced positioning measurement report comprises receiving results of the measurement of a metric and a channel PDP associated with the measurement, wherein the metric comprises a ToA, a reference signal time delay (RSTD), or a channel PDP, and calculating a mean, a standard deviation, a probability, a probability distribution, or a combination thereof, associated with the metric.

12

12. The method of claim 11, comprising determining the probability distribution of the metric.

13

13. The method of claim 12, wherein determining the probability distribution of the metric comprises determining the probability distribution of the metric based on the channel PDP.

15

15. The UE of claim 14, wherein, to determine the enhanced measurement period, the at least one processor is configured to determine the enhanced measurement period by multiplying the standard measurement period by a constant factor, adding a constant time to the standard measurement period, or a combination thereof.

16

16. The UE of claim 14, wherein the standard measurement period is calculated as a function of a number of samples to be measured by the UE and wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises increasing the number of samples to be measured by the UE compared to the standard measurement period.

17

17. The UE of claim 14, wherein the standard measurement period is calculated as a function of a number of positioning reference signal resources that the UE can process per slot and wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises reducing the number of positioning reference signal resources that the UE can process per slot compared to the standard measurement period.

18

18. The UE of claim 14, wherein the standard measurement period is calculated as a function of a number of PRS symbols N that the UE can process per unit time and wherein determining the enhanced measurement period comprises reducing a number of PRS symbols N that the UE can process per unit time, increasing the unit time required for the UE to process N PRS symbols, or both, compared to the standard measurement period.

22

22. The network entity of claim 21, wherein, to determine the enhanced measurement period, the at least one processor is configured to determine the enhanced measurement period by multiplying the standard measurement period by a constant factor, adding a constant time to the standard measurement period, or a combination thereof.

23

23. The network entity of claim 21, wherein, to receive the enhanced positioning measurement report, the at least one processor is configured to receive results of the measurement of a metric and a mean, a standard deviation, a probability, a probability distribution, or a combination thereof, associated with the metric.

24

24. The network entity of claim 21, wherein receiving the enhanced positioning measurement report comprises receiving results of the measurement of a metric and a channel PDP associated with the measurement, wherein the metric comprises a ToA, a reference signal time delay (RSTD), or a channel PDP, and calculating a mean, a standard deviation, a probability, a probability distribution, or a combination thereof, associated with the metric.

25

25. The network entity of claim 24, comprising determining the probability distribution of the metric.

26

26. The network entity of claim 25, wherein, to determine the probability distribution of the metric, the at least one processor is configured to determine the probability distribution of the metric based on the channel PDP.
